Shared Values

Our research group stands with the #BlackLivesMatter movement to condemn systemic racism and inequity created by the white power structure and colonial systems of oppression. We are committed to acting towards structural changes that will create more equitable societies and more sustainable ecosystems, and reaffirm a strong commitment to support gender, racial, and ethnic diversity as well as equity and inclusivity in STEM disciplines and in society at large. We firmly believe that we cannot have environmental justice without racial and social justice. We affirm that environmental endeavors focused on discovery, research, scholarship, education, and engagement, require and significantly benefit from the incorporation of diverse cultural, social, and political perspectives. All voices must be heard.

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the territory of the Mohegan, Mashantucket Pequot, Eastern Pequot, Schaghticoke, Golden Hill Paugussett, Nipmuc, and Lenape Peoples, who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. We thank them for their strength and resilience in protecting this land, and aspire to uphold our responsibilities according to their example.
